Germany fielded a whole range of halftracks during WWII, with different sizes
for different purposes. The Sd.Kfz.10, one of the lighter halftrack types, was
conceived as a prime mover for small towed guns such as the 3.7cm PaK36 and
2cm FlaK30. Measuring 4.5m long and weighing 4.9 tonnes, this Demag-designed
vehicle could carry up to eight passengers. Its top speed was 75km/h. Around
14,000 Sd.Kfz.10 halftracks were built from 1938-45, and the chassis was also
used for the Sd.Kfz.250 armored halftrack. Several different specialist vehicles
were based on this halftrack design, among them the Sd.Kfz.10/5. This anti-aircraft
platform carried a 2cm FlaK38 cannon on a purpose-built platform on the rear
of the hull. The weapon system was used by both the Wehrmacht and Luftwaffe.

As Dragon has never produced a kit of this halftrack family before, the body
and chassis are brand new. This allowed the design team to really go to town
and produce the ultimate detail in this kit, all the while utilizing high-quality
engineering for accurate parts. It’s fully detailed, including internal components
like the engine and gearbox. Of course, it also makes use of Dragon’s world-famous
2cm FlaK38 kit. Worthy of special mention is the use of slide molds on the front
hood to permit the louvers on the hood sides to be fully open. This stunning
level of detail, combined with upgraded road wheels and Magic Tracks has resulted
in a spectacular halftrack kit. Designed to hit low-flying Allied aircraft,
this vehicle will also be a hit with model-makers all over the world!
